The M. E. district campmeeting for 1891
has closed its services et Tindall'a grove.
The business meeting of the Camp Meet
ing association was held at lp.m., the
Rev. M. A. Haad. P. E., in the chair.
Messrs. Howard Wells, W . T. Kerr and
Thomas Armstrong were appointed an
executive committee for the ensuing jear.
Bills for improvements, etc.. wera allow
ei to the amount of $200. Tae receipts
have been about $470.
The association resolved to hold over
two Sundays next year. On account of
the near approach of conference mtny of
the preachers were compelled to leave the
encampment and to go t their respective
fields of labor. There have been over 40
ministers present during the encamp
ment. The Moline Dispatch sajs:
The workuf preparing for the approach
icg session of the Central Illinois Metho
dist conference, and for the entertainment
of the lar-c number of strangers that are
expected al that time, is being completed
as rapidly as possible. The committee
haviug charge of securing places to ac
commodate strangers, have met with
quite liberal responses to their solicita
tions, but the members find tbat to en
gage quarters for 500 or more delegates,
many of whom will be accompanied by
their wives, is a task of no small propor
tions. They would be pleased to know
where still more accommodations can be
found.
The conference will open on Wednes
day, Sept. 9, and will probably close the
following Monday. It bad been ar
ranged to hold a reception for the visit
ing delegates on Tuesday evening, Sept.
8, but this has been abandoned on account
of the Davenport carnival, which occurs
on that evening, and which will be a
spectacle that a large number of the visi
tors will doubtles desire to witness.
Bishop R. W. Joyce, of Chattanooga,
will preside. The conference will open
at 8:30 Wednesday mornin? with a com
munion service, followed at 9 o'clock "by
the brat business session. Each succeed
ing day there will be a half hour's devr.
tionsl exercises, beginning at 8:30. The
progrsmtie fnr the conference will bp

The Union, as was to be tx pec ted, flies
to the defense of the oppositionists to the
government surveys and in an attempted
defense of the position of those who arc
now flgbt:ng the government k devotes
itself to sneering at the engineers i. in
charge of the work, at the congressman
from this district, and finally endeav
ors to excuse the delay which the
friends of the northern route have caused,
and are likely to cause to the extent of
endangering the entire project, by aay
ng that Capt. Marshall, in Lis re
port to the war department for July,
before there was any commission,
said: "No wrk is contemplated
fnrther than the completion of some maps
and assisting the U. S. district attorney in
securing sdditioaal information concert:
ing the titles to lands required for the ap
proved route." Now the question is
bow cau the w ar department go ahead
with its maps, etc., and the U. S. district
attorney anytMnw pnrifwning itH.
ect., "rtq'lired for the approved route,"
as long as war is bciDg waged on tbat
approved route to such an exiett as to
warrant tLe appointment of a social
commission which it is the hope of those
who have Cur.J SiiJ appoiataieat will
change the approved route.

Eoaded.
New York, Aug. 29. One of the most
mysterious of Coney Island's myateries is
the disappearance of a mau and young
woman who were bathing at Palmer's pa
vilion on? Thursday evening. The disap
pearance was discovered at b o'clock, when
the pavilion was being closed up for the
night. An employe in the men's part of
the pavilion found one of the bath houses
locked. The door was forced open aud a
man's clothes were found. Shortly after
ward a bath house in the women's part
was found locked. - This also was foreed
open and a woman's clothing found.
Doubt of a Drowning Affair.
The employes did not remember the
man. Mrs. Thompson, who has charge of
the wnmen'a section, has but a slight rec
ollection of the woman. The clothing
worn by each was of very ordinary quali
ty. In the mair's pockets were found a
gold watch and chain and a little money.
A tortoise shell hair comb, a purse con
taining 10 cents, and a patr of silk mittens
were found in the pocket of the woman's
dress. The police are inclined to doubt
that the missing persons were drowned.
One theory is that the couple eloped. It
is supposed by some that they lelt their
clothes in the bath pavilion and had oth
ers at some couveuieut place.

Strand about 11 o'clock in the evening, a
fashionable hour for young pairs to wan
der there and exchange their tales of love.
The two scamps would pick out a pair ot
cooing lovers and tell them that they were
under arrest, as such conduct was unlaw
ful. Kn Heuto ror State' Prison.
The yonng man would want to buy the
policeman off, and tbat individual would
refer the agitated swain to . his colored
partner, who vtonid arrange the Cuaucial
transaction. At thte hearing Thursday
afternoon Heller was suspended from the
police force aud thea turned over to the
district attorney, who preferred the charge
that will probably seud hiiu to state
prison.
